We need to look into optimal light intensity of evergreen broad-leaved trees in order to ornamental value of plants growing indoors because different kinds of them have a difference of light intensity. This study was conducted to evaluate the shade tolerance with shading treatment by analyzing the growth and physiological responses of Sarcandra glabra (Thunb.) Nakai and Ardisia crenata Sims, which have been considered to have potentials to grow as indoor-cultivated ornamental trees. The shading treatments were regulated with shading rations of full sunlight, and 35%, 50%, 95% of full sunlight. As a result of surveying growth under different shading rations, H/D ratio and T/R ratio of S. glabrai and A. crenata under shading treatment were higher than full sunlight. The total leaf area (cm 2 ) of S. glabra was observed to increasing by 50% shading. A. crenata showed the highest at 95% shading. S. glabrai and A. crenata under 95% shading would lower the L＊a＊b value and turn a leaf color into dark green, and the chlorophyll content was significantly decreased. The leaf color of both of these trees were determined to have a sensitive reaction to light intensity. The photosynthetic capacity of S. glabra and A. crenata were respectively the greatest at 50% shading or 95% shading, and the light compensation point of both of these trees was the lowest at 50% and 95% shading. Although it was indicated that 50% shading is suitable for S. glabrai and A. crenata to grow healthy, they actively responded to low light intensity of 95% shading as well, confirming that they have shade tolerance. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that S. glabrai and A. crenataare appropriate as indoor ornamental tree.

We examined the effects of light colors (wavelength) and light quantities on the yield ratio and quality of cultivated cowpea sprouts. All light colors resulted in a lower cowpea sprout yield ratio compared to the untreated condition (darkness), but were similar in hard seed ratio. All light colors promoted the growth of the epicotyl and root when compared to the untreated condition, but limited the growth of the hypocotyl. White light (458 nm) significantly improved grade by increasing the lightness of the cotyledon and the hypocotyl and the yellowness of the hypocotyl. The Fe content of cowpea sprouts was higher in those grown under red light (632 nm), and the total amino acid content was higher for those grown under yellow light (560 nm), white light (458 nm), and blue light (460 nm) compared to plants grown in the untreated condition (darkness). The yield ratio of cowpea sprouts was lower in the yellow light condition (560 nm) at lower light quantity, but no differences were observed at other light colors and quantities. The lightness and yellowness of cowpea sprouts was higher in the yellow light (560 nm) and red light (632 nm) at lower light quantity, redness was lower. No significant differences were observed in the content of normal and inorganic components according to the light quantities of each light color, except that Fe content was higher in sprouts grown under red light (632 nm) as light quantity increased. Total amino acid content was slightly higher in sprouts grown under white light (458 nm) and blue light (460 nm) as light quantity increased.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of light controls and leaf mold on root growth and physiological responses of Atractylodes japonica growing in forest farming. The experiment was performed by light controls (100%, 62.5%, 40.3% and 19.7% of full sunlight) and application of leaf mold to soil. Height, stem diameter, number of flower buds and root collar diameter were the highest in leaf mold within 62.5% of full sunlight (relative light intensity 62.5%). And these were the higher in leaf mold within each light level. As the shading level increased, light saturation point and maximum photosynthesis rate decreased. As the light level decreased, SPAD value increased in control and leaf mold. As a result of surveying the whole experiment, A. japonica was judged worse root growth under the lower light level. It was concluded that the light level was one of the most important factors to produce A. japonica. Also, producing high-quality of A. japonica with the price competitiveness by using leaf mold like the experiment can be an effective way to increase incomes for farmers.

무늬 베고니아(Begonia rex) ‘Harmony’s Red Robin’은 독특 한 적색 무늬로 잘 알려지고 인기 있는 실내식물이다. 하지만, 실내 에서는 광환경이 불량하여 무늬의 색상이 퇴색하는 경향이 있어 관 상가치가 감소된다. 본 실험은 무늬 베고니아 ‘Harmony’s Red Robin’ 잎의 적색 무늬 발현에 미치는 광질의 효과를 조사하기 위 해 실시하였다. 실내에서 광원으로 형광등(F)과 LED-백색광(W), 적색광(R), 청색광(B), 녹색광(G), 황색광(Y)과 적·청혼합광(RB, 적색:청색=4:1) 등 7가지로 광 처리하였다. 실내 조건은 기온 25±4℃, 상대습도 60±5%였다. 모든 처리 광원의 광도는 60μ mol·m-2·s-1로 조정하였고 12시간 일장조건으로 8주간 처리하였 다. 그 결과, 생육 특성은 RB, W, B LED에서 양호했다. 전체엽수 는 RB와 B에서 증가했고 총엽면적과 잎의 생체중은 RB, W, B에 서 처리 간에 가장 많이 증가했다. 무늬 발현 특성 중 무늬 비율은 LED RB와 B에서 양호했고 무늬의 적색 발현은 B에서 가장 양호 하였다. 결론적으로, 실내에서 무늬 베고니아 ‘Harmony’s Red Robin’의 적색 발현을 향상시키기 위해 LED 청색광을 적용하는 것이 효과적이나 식물 생장과 인간의 시야 및 미적 환경 등을 고려 할 때 LED 백색광과의 적절한 조합비율의 적용을 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

As the results of study, physical characteristics of light weight buoyancy material improve as MMA content was increased. When considering density and abrasion properties of light weight buoyancy, the proper mixing condition is thought to be C1.0.

This study was carried out to produce more Parasenecio firmus in forest farming. In order to achieve thispurpose, it was surveyed the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of P. firmus. Relatively light intensity was controlledby 100%, 60%, 30% and 5% of full sunlight. Height was the highest under 5% of full sunlight. Shoot diameter was the high-est in full sunlight. Fresh weight (leaf, stem, root and total) and dry weight (leaf, root and total) were the highest under 30%of full sunlight. S (leaf+stem)/R (root) ratio was the lowest under 30% of full sunlight and the highest under 5% of full sun-light. In leaf characteristics, leaf area, SLA and LAR were getting higher in the lower light level and the highest under 5% offull sunlight (176.1㎠, 420.5㎠•g−1 and 123.5㎠•g−1). Especially, leaf area was surveyed higher under 30% of full sunlightin the next. Leaf thickness was getting lower in the lower light level and the lowest under 5% of full sunlight (overall0.14~0.24㎜). As a result of surveying the whole experiment, P. firmus grows well under 30% and 5% of full sunlight inforest farming.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the early growth and root development characteristics ofAtractylodes japonica container seedling. Experiment was performed by light intensity (100%, 60%, 25% and 10% of fullsunlight). Height was surveyed well under 25% of full sunlight (overall 11.013.0%). Root collar diameter was the highest inthe full sunlight (7.52㎜). It was the highest fresh weight (1.52g, 0.92g, 0.90g and 3.34g) under 25% of full sunlight, rootdry weight was getting higher in the higher light level and the highest in the full sunlight (0.13g). Total root length, rootproject area, root surface area and root volume were the highest under 25% of full sunlight (434.7㎝, 17.4㎠, 54.7㎠,0.55㎤, respectively) and the lowest under 10% of full sunlight. As a result of surveying the whole experiment, A. japonica isjudged nicely by maintaining 25% of full sunlight, excepting 10% of full sunlight. And light levels during the early growthare overly important to improve early growth.

This study was carried out to compare the characteristics of seed germination and the first stage of growth in Cynanchum wilfordii (Maxim.) by different light conditions such ass fluorescent light, dark and light emitting diode (LED). There was not much difference from the germination rate of C. wilfordii (Maxim.) in different light conditions for 10 days. The highest of germination rate occurred over 91.11 percentage by LED red condition at 26℃. Also mean germination velocity and promptness index were represented the highest results of 2.3 ea/day and 52.67 under red light, respectively. But mean germination time under both LED red and blue light was represented low data that it takes over three days for germinating of seed. Even though handling both LED red and blue lights, the germination uniformity was not constant. These results may help our understanding of variations in germination characteristics for C. wilfordii (Maxim.) seeds treated under different light conditions.

To evaluate heat environment surrounding plants diurnal change of leaf temperature in the broad-leaved deciduous and evergreen trees was measured with microclimatic environmental factors including global solar radiation, and upward and downward long wave radiation. Maximum daily solar radiation was 961.2 and 976.3 w/m2 in August 9 and 23, respectively. Upward long wave radiation was slightly higher than downward long wave radiation, showing 404.2 w/m2 in August 9 and 394.5 w/m2 in August 23. In addition, daily maximum vapor pressure deficit was 5.42 and 6.84 kPa in August 9 and 23, respectively, indicating high evaporative demand. Quercus glauca and Acer mono was differently responded to changing light regimes. On August 9, leaf temperature at the top-positioned leaves of Acer plants was higher than air temperature as well as those of Quercus plants in the morning. This indicates that stomata in Acer plants were closed by heat stress or water stress in the morning, while Quercus plant maintained active transpiration by opening stomata. These results indicated that improved light regimes such as gap opening in the closed forest may not always affect positively in the physiology of understory plants.
